Incredible ramen ! Chef’s selection is what you want if you don’t really know what you are looking for. Pick the first entry of this selection and you’ll get an idea of what’s a ramen. No real interaction but every seat gives you a nice view of the chief in action.
The food was great. But the service is big NO. One of the waiters was so rude specialy to foreigner. I was asking for a bowl, so i can try for my mothers ramen, she said NO with a rude tone and expression. I'm not asking rudely, at least she can said sorry because the dont have any additional bowl or else.
When you are here, definitely go for the recommended tsukemen. Different flavour from the standard ramen and tasted so yummy. The noodles here are great value for money!
